Top Five Most Bizarre Game Title and Cover Combos

By JackiJinx May 16, 2009 23 Comments

I'm a collector of odd things, so when I see a title as odd as My Little Pony Pinkie Pie's Party, I have to take note. Have to. As a result, I've compiled the top five games I felt deserved the title of Weirdest Choice of Representation.

5. Irritating Stick

You'll be hard pressed to find a more bothersome stick.

THIS STICK IS SO IRRITATING MY BRAIN IS ASPLODED YARG! THE BITS ARE EVERYWHERE AND THEY ARE IN THE PATTERNS OF RAINBOWS GASPAGE! DEATH. Applause.
Seriously though, for a game that has a concept of navigating a stick through a wire maze, it'd be my best guess to say the stick is the least irritating bit of it, even with all that magical flashy lightning taken account for. Goodness knows we all haven't had our fill of frustrating games already.

4. Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire- Trial by Fire

My guess? It's lost for a reason.

I have never seen Disney's Atlantis. I have never played this game. Heck, I've never even seen screenshots for this game, but if there is one thing I do know, it is this: there is no fire underwater, nor are there angry mermen looking to drill anything...but if BioShock has taught me anything, genetics will drive people insane, so I can't blame Mr. Orangina for massacring his entire race of Sunny Ds. You make Disney proud, Mr. O. Keep up the adequate, yet marketable work.

3. Russell Grant's Astrology

Mommy, why does the boogie man want to know my sign?!

Casual games have gone to a new level. A level I wish to explore? Hell no. Russell Grant has certainly granted me that much wisdom just by looking at his latest game. What's more interesting is that this wasn't the original choice for box art. Oh no, the first was much tamer. Why the change of heart? For those of you not in the know, Russell here is a renown astrologer over in England. From what my wondrous deductive reasoning can gather, either someone from the publishing/developing side of things realized no one would buy such a game without a face, or Russell decided he wanted to commit his endorsement to the game by slapping on the most sincere smile he could muster. My belief? Neither. Some super secret ninjas must've snunk into his room during the night dragging Russell out of bed. Incidentally, the gloves the ninjas were wearing had a a very fuzzy feel to them, and being the sensitive person he is, Russell burst out laughing. This caught the ninjas off guard and dropped him like a rock, knocking him out in the process. One of the more secretive members decided that this was the perfect opportunity for a picture and snapped his picture. The next day, he sold it to the publisher for a buck fifty, and that's it. That's how babies are born. Remember kids: just say no to ninjas.
